Google Sitemap Generator for osCommerce MS-2.2 stores

Thanks for the reply. An example would be very helpful.

 

Hi Chemo,

great to hear from you, hope you will provide us more osc code!

After commet out the application_bottom.php the new Sitemap Contrib will work prefect for me.

Many thanks.

Hello Bobby, nice to see you back. Forgive my ignorance, but how do i implement this script. I have been trying to get your GoogleSitemapXML v1.3 to work but keep getting:

'Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@mysite.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.34 Server at www.mysite.com '

All files are in the correct directory (catalog) and the 3 dummy files are all 777

(Ulti SEO Urls is installed) Actually, you installed for me!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Well, the solution was as simple as changing permissions to 755

 

That is the old version on osC servers...try using the one on here (first post)

Hello Chemo,

Thank you for the useful code you're releasing to the osCommerce compunity.

It makes me happy to see you're finally back to rock'n'roll

I'm sure we all agree that your contribiutions are among the most useful that are available for osCommerce.

A questions about the Sitemap Generator:

I trying to make it work on an Hebrew site(windows-1255) and the links are displayed gibberish, e.g. :

http://www.domain.com/îæåä-îåëñ-áòåá-éå÷úé-åîøðé-p-13.html

I was getting the same results with Ultimate SEO Url's, unless I disabled W3C Url's or removed the utf8_encode() from the seo.class code.

So, I tried to remove the utf8_encode() from the generator code, but this time it didn't work, and gave gibberish of another kind:

http://www.domain.com/????-????-????-?????-??????-p-14.html

Do you have an idea what's wrong with it?

Thanks!

 

I've changed the encoding to windows-1255 :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1255"?>

and removed the utf8_encode(), and it's now displaying the links correctly.

Is that OK, or the xml feed must be in UTF-8 encoding?

 

Wasn't exactly sure how to implement this, but I copied googleSitemapProducts.php to the root of my store. After submitting to Google Sitemaps, I received the following error;

Parsing error (Line 2902) We were unable to read your Sitemap. It may contain an entry we are unable to recognize. Please validate your Sitemap before resubmitting.
Invalid URL (Line 2902) This is not a valid URL. Please correct it and resubmit. More

I have no idea what the parsing error might be and I submitted the sitemap as http://www.mydomainname.com/googleSitemapProducts.php

Can anyone help me out with this?

 

Hello,

where is your catalog?

 

Hi ,

currently using the old script with the googlesitemap directory in my root which requires cron job.

questions: do i need to delete or replace any of the file or directory previously installed?

thanks

 

Bobby, thanks for the great script. Works well except one warning noted by Google checker that I can't figure out.

My output shows a single white space before the XML out tag <?xml ... and google flags this as an error but accepts the file anyways.

To test, I removed/moved the required files like app..top.php and still can't get rid of this one leading space.
